In away mr.Willie was part of the begining of my life as i know and thank god for today. I, like alot of people struggled w/drug addiction and in the throws of my adiction a friend helped me get a job working for mr.Willie and as i hit rock bottom and was in treatment they held my job for me and when i started work for mr. Willie he taught me alot about "merchindising"and about life.7 yrs later still sober i look back on the oppertunity he gave me that was the foudation of my new life.My husband worked for him on and off since he was 16yrs old and through it all Mr.Willie was always there for him.We will miss him .Our love and Prayers for his Family.

I just recently found out about mr willie cowarts passing when i arrived back in town yesterday. I feel a great loss that i wasn't here to pay my respects.My thoughts and prayers go out to the family.Willie will always be remembered by me and my family.
